I'm cooperatin' here.

The latest Michael Moore rant starts with:

Dear Mr. Bush,

Thank you for providing the illegible Xeroxed partial payroll sheets (or whatever they were) yesterday covering a few of your days in the National Guard.


My first thought: The inept desperation of Jerry Lundegaard. Bush re his National Guard record = Jerry Lundegaard's antics re giving VIN #'s to GMAC's Reilly Deifenbach. Perhaps this is the best description of the Bush White House: Lundegaardian. If nothing else, it makes it seem more fun and Coens-y -- a quirky noir mixed with black comedy, Carl Showalters and Gaer Grimsruds prowling around (sure to lead the election campaign "dirty tricks" squadron), taking time out from the malfeasance for a shot and a beer.
